Those coming to see the cranes in the next few weeks might want to swing by Smith Reservoir, where today there was a wonderful assortment of waterbirds, including a single first year Tundra Swan. The other species included Common Goldeneye, American Wigeon, Northern Pintails, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Redhead, and Bald Eagle. There were about 2,100 Sandhill Cranes lining the shores of the east half of the reservoir. Twenty snow geese were also a nice sight to see. We (John Stump and I) would guess that there was at least 5,000 birds on the partially frozen/open water lake today.
